Shardpunk - Demo

Vermin? Not in MY good Empire suburbs.

Just finished the demo, and I'm really impressed so far! The visual design is excellent, and has been adeptly rendered with some great quality pixel graphics. There's just the one demo level + mission, but I spent a good 45 minutes exploring, looting, and repelling bands of Rat Swarm soldiers. Tactical options are varied and character abilities have attractive upgrade paths. Gameplay was intuitive from the get-go without any real hand-holding, and feels interesting while still managing to balance risk and reward in a very approachable way. The soundtrack and audio choices are also well done, and there are lots of little details that give the impression of a thoroughly developed game. At the time of this review, it looks like the full game is slated for release in about a week or two, and I'm definitely interested to see what more they have to offer with it. If you're here reading this and you're on the fence about trying it, stick this demo in your library straight away... it's a quick download and a great experience. If I can get my hands on the full release, I'll absolutely review it on that page, too.
